Recap: 4th of July

Though it didn't have fireworks, we did really enjoy celebrating the 4th with our new Bulgarian buddies!  Spur-of-the-moment, we invited a few folks over on Monday night for burgers, french fries, and strawberry shortcake.  We were able to "initiate" our new grill and also have Bulgarian guests for the first time.  It was a GREAT Independence Day...

 

From left to right, we have Chris, Vanya & Stefan and their son, Martin, us, and Miglena.  And, Maria is taking the picture :)  Stefan and Martin helped Randall grill the burgers... they were delish.

 

They brought us generous gifts: a watermelon, fresh flowers, ice cream, beer, and homemade honey; and, in exchange, we showed them how to "dress" an American hamburger :)

And, earlier that day, Joy taught an English lesson on the 4th of July at her school.  So, if any of you guys come visit us next 4th of July, you might actually hear "Happy 4th!" on the street!

Here are a few pictures from her class:

 

 

Happy late 4th!  And, Happy Friday!
